week that he had severed his connection
with the Sentinel, and would leave in day
or two for other fields Several of the men
and boys here proposed that we give him a
serenade and a little scare Accordingly
about midnight Friday night seven or eight
of us gathered up tin pals and horns and
proceeded to the Office of the Sentinel
where Newbern slept. We made a big
racket and demanded admittance, which
was refused, and on one of us going in we
found the bird had flown. The party then
broke up, but two or three of them heard
that Newbern had gone to the hotel and
went over there Newbern again got out
and the next thing we heard of him he was
in Glen st. Mary"
Mr., Bars, said the reporter sit is
claimed that this assault was made on New
bern because he was q Bloxham man.
There is nothing in that at all. None Of
us even thought of such thing. Ii was
simply a joke we were playing on him before
he left.n
What was the political complexion of the
party who took part in itf'
well, that is one thing which makes it
look bad. Unfortunately they were all Perry
men. The truth is, though, that it was sim
ply scare Newbern is a crank, as every
body in town will admit, and on several oc-
casions the boys have scared him by SINH
lar capers, but none ever went so far as
this
The reporter talked with a number of
other citizens about the matter. They
nearly all express themselves as satisfied
that 1t was joke, but there are some who
declare that it mad serious aspect. All
join in expressing regret at the occurrence,
saying that it looks bad for the town, and if
the story goes abroad it will hurt the place.
Newbern is now in Tallahassee and the
Sentinel has suspended for a short time,
until Mr. Moore, the proprietor, who is
Sergeant-at-A Arms of the Senate, can make
other arrangements for its publication.

Mr.. Brewster's Little Mistake.
From the. Pittsbt,rg Dispatch.

Yes tsaid a man on the trainl he's good
fellow [ex-Attomey General Brewsterl, but
there's a lot of barney about him. l know
him well, you see; used TO visit at my house.
Did l, ever tell you that joke about himi
No! We'll, you see, he has great fashion
of calling his personal friends "my dear fell
low and addressing young ladies as my
dear" in a pleasant way. We had colored
cook at our house who wasn't handsome, but
she could beat all Dauphin county baking
wafiles. One evening about dusk there
came ring at my door bell. My library
was just at the head of the stairs. The cook
answered the call. 1t was Brewster, and in
the semi-darkneSs he thought it was one of
the family. Good evening, my dear:
hope you are well, and he put out his hand
for shake. 1t was too late to back out
when he saw who IL was, so he kept right
on, talked about the pleasant weather and
the family just as though it was an every
day matter with him to shake hands with
the servants, while hung over the balusters
about ready TO die. His urbanity and self
possession were equal to the occasion, and il
tickled the girl nearly 20 death. Afterward
whenever she knew Brewster was 10 take
dinner at our house we had wafiies and

Finding Pharaoh.

In the May Century are TWO profusely
Illustrated articles under the above caption
describing the discovery of Pharaohs tomb
and picturing its contents. From the first
article by Mr. Wilson, the photographer,
IS taken this account of the way in which
the tomb was located: I'm a line of tombs
beyond the Ramesseum lived four sturdy
Arabs named Abd-er-Rasoul They supplied
guides and donkeys to tourists who desired
to visit the ruins of Thcbes, and sold them
genuine and spurious Antiquities. When
they found mummy, it being forbidden
by law to sell it, the head and hands and
feet were wrenched off and sold on the sly.
while the torso was kicked about the ruined
temples until the jacl1als came and carried
1t away | purchased a head and hand of
one OF the brothers amid the dark shadows
of the temple at Qurneh. Early in 1881
circumstantial evidence pointed TO Ahmed
Adder Rasoul as the one who knew more
than he would tell Prof. Maspere caused mis-
arrest and he lay in prison at Kench for
some months He also suffered the bastinado
and the browbeating of the women repeatedly;
edly he resisted brides, and showed no melting
mood when threatened with execution. HIS
lips told no more than the unbound tomb
and not as much. Finally his brother
Mohammed regarded the offer of 'bakshish.'
which Prof Maspero deemed it wise to
make, as worth more TO him than any sum
Nv AiASuO HOpS W lNtlllAe from luJure
pillaglng, and made clean breast of the
whole affair. How the four brothers ever
discovered the hidden tomb has remained a
family secret On July 3, 1881, the willy
Arab conducted Herr Emil Brugsch Bey,
curator of the Bulaq Museum, to Deir.el-
Bahari and pointed out the hiding-place so
long looked for. A long climb it was. up
the slope of the western mountain, till. after
sealing a great limestone cliff, huge
isolated rock was found. Behind this spot
was reached where the stones appeared to
an expert observer and tomb-searcher to
have been arranged by hand, rather than
scattered by some upheaval OF nature
There said the sullen guide; and there the
enterprising Emil Brugsch Bey, with more
than Egyptian alacrity, soon had a staff of
Arabs at work hosting the loose stones from
a well into which they had been thrown.
The shaft had been sunk into the solid lime
stone to the depth of about forty feet, and
was about feet square. Before going very
faI, huge palm-log was thrown across the
well and block and tackle fastened to it to
help bring up the debris When the bottom
Oh the shaft was reached a subterranean
passage was found which ran westward
some "a feet and then turned directly
northward, continuing into the heart of the
mountain straight except where broken for
about 200 feet by an abrubt stairway. The
passage terminated in n mortuary chamber
about 10 by % feet in extent and barely 6
feet in height There was found the num-
my of King Pharoah of the Oppression, with
nearly forty others of kings, queens, princes
and priests"

Incongruity.
From Tie Boston Courier.


That incongruous mixing of sentiments
and emotions of which some people are ca
pable will never cease to be astonishing and
equally amusing A visitor tells of an
incident which occurred in a village of
Maine,g where he was visiting, which may
serve as an illustration. A neighbor came
running into the house of relative whom
he was visiting, and exclaimed excitedly:
"Oh, Daniel Webster is dying. l don't
know but he is dead now!n
The hostess rose TO the occasion by ex-
pressing the proper degree of astonishment
and sympathy, finding time to explain to
the Bostonian chat Daniel Webster was the
eldest son of the sudden visitor, and that he
was dangerously i'll of fevers
Yes" the mother went on "He is dy-
ing know he is. just ran in to tell you
that my bantam roostef | lost day before
yesterday came home last night"
Daniel Webster really did yield up the
ghost the following morning.

BOTH HUSBANDS CLAIM HER.
And Also Some Valuable Property-A
Case Without Parallel.

A Lynchburg Va, dispatch to the Knox
J vile Tribune says: A case was practically
decided in the Circuit Court, Judge Horsely
presiding, this morning, which probably
has no parallel in Virginia jurisprudence.
The facts are briefly stated as fellows: In
1919 James Dolan, proprietor of the Rose
Cottage nursery, died, leaving a widow,
who subsequently married James MCGOWAN,
who was for many years one of Bynchburg's
| most prominent and highly-respected c;ti-
zens. Mr.. Dolan left a daughter, who mar
Iied II. 4. Smith, who after some time de-
serted her, leaving an infant child. Mrs.
| Smith removed to New YORK and after
seven years had elapsed, during which time
she had not seen her husband, she had the
right under the laws of that State to pre-
sumo that he was dead. and accordingly
married man named Richard Dorney.
Mrs, McGowan, the mother of Mrs Dor
ney, died leaving her husband in charge of
the property without having made any ar
rangements for its division among her heirs
Her husband subsequently died, and now
the anomaly is presented of two husbands
claiming one wife and all the property she
inherits from her parents; for no sooner was
Mr.. McGowan's death announced than
Smith put in his appearance and claimed
his wife and the share OF the property
though he had been previously not heard
from for more than seven years. Mr.. Dor
ney, considering himself the legal husband
of the lady, resisted the claim Of Smith, and
upon the issue the case came up for trial be-
fore the Circuit Court.
The decision was practically that Smith,
by his desertion of his wife, was not en-
titled to any share in the valuable property
involved, and that the marriage to Dorney
in New York is valid After this decision
the plaintiff submitted to a non-suit, and it
is impossible now to say whether or not the
case is ended. It may be revived and the
litigation indefinitely continued

remarked: you can claim nothing as you
did not land the Guards and Rifles at Bic;
but, inasmuch as you put the Guards ashore
there, we might give you $4,000" Then,
in moment afterward with twinkle in

An Englishman who was recently In Kan
sas City for few days on a business trip
dreamed one night that he was walking
rapidly up the main street Of the Village Of
Sunbury on Thames, the home of his
mother, in England. On arriving at the
door of his mothers house he saw that
Grape was tied to the knob, and that the
shutters were closed and the blinds drawn.
He related the dream to a friend at break
fast IN the morning, and then dismissed il
from his mind. In the afternoon he received
a cablegram from his brother announcing
that his mother had died suddenly the night
before.
